Snow has fallen

A frustrating week this week, snow has crippled Southern England, I spent over an hour on Monday sitting on the M1 outside Watford before turning round and heading home, where I couldn't remote access into work so spend the afternoon playing with Jack in the snow.

Tuesday there was still snow about but made it into work and then the craziness started, we are now less than two weeks until my project goes live and everyone seems to have gone mad.

The weather improved for a couple of days then this morning the snow came down and the roads were just horrible, no grit just icy slush, so again I am working at home and not really getting much done.

I have managed to get a youTube sidebar into this blog, and am still thinking of turning this into my home - rockhoppersuk.co.uk desperately needs updating still maybe today - I am supposed to be working.

Onto other stuff - booked tickets to Canada to go and see Duncan and Caroline not sure if I am looking forward to a six hour flight with the boys - hopefully we can get Harry in a bassent and then we get seats right at the front and extra leg room. We still need to sort out car hire - Duncan has got us a car to borrow in Moncton but we need to get from Halifax to Moncton and need a couple of car seats so we haven't decided what to do about that. We also need to sort out where to go when we are there - Karen likes the look on Annapolis Royal in Nova Scocia but we haven't any firm plans yet.

Other than that we have tickets to Blur in July and the football at Wembly (Pats @ Bucs) in October which I can not wait for.

Harry's baptism is next weekend - we managed to get the thorny issue of Godparents sorted, Duncan whilst in Canada is one, Jane is another and then Andy has special permission to be one although not baptised himself Alan allowed him to be Harry's Godfather as he is being confirmed in July.

More personal news it looks like my job is safe - I will be tuped to a new company but it looks like my role still exists, still hoping to sit down with their HR and my new line manager and figure out exactly what they expect from my role and what I can expect from them.

Just a couple of 2.0 things

  • Twitter - I have been tweeting more
  • Flickr - I have posted pictures of Jack in the snow have some more to get off the camera so as I can upload
  • WordPress - No updates - there WILL be some soon
  • website -At some point I will - maybe
  • youTube -we now have a youTube channel, it only contains a couple of videos at the moment but that could expand. I have created a sidebar of videos on here
later - rockhoppers
